What is Takasaki City University of Economics(TCUE)? TCUE kept the same ideology, gender discrimination, from the gecko. It means for 60 years, and it kept its tradition now. This university is a symbol of the anti-democracy and constitution movement in Japan. And you better think about it. This university is a public university, not a private in Japan. How could it be possible? In order to understand it, you should investigate and know its dark history, in which it had its rigged entrance exam and the scandal exposed by a local newspaper, about the close relationship of this school's far right-wing president and a local organized crime boss back as early as 1960's. And you must read the 1969.6.6 discussion of a special session of the Diet about this matter and I recommend you to read the manifest of "Ooendan", a cheering group whose members are mainly a student, formed by the same president back then, now fully and directly supported by each of the university president and top managing stuff members in college of the past and present.

'Betrayed': victims of Tokyo medical school scandal speak out
Women whose results were deliberately marked down say it reflects a wider

Several years ago, Riko Miyauchi’s dream of becoming a doctor took her into the exam halls of one of Japan’s most prestigious medical schools.
As a young woman, she knew her prospects were slim. Tokyo Medical University’s entrance exam was notoriously tough, with women far less likely to pass than men.
Unknown to Miyauchi, the university’s authorities had put another barrier in her way. She is one of an unknown number of young women whose test scores the school deliberately marked down to prevent them entering a career in medicine and ensure more men became doctors.
The Yomiuri newspaper reported last week how the university systematically kept the ratio of female students at just below a third, due to concerns about their ability to continue working after having children.
The revelations have generated negative headlines around the world and prompted the education ministry to order an urgent investigation into suspected institutional sexism at dozens of medical schools.
“There were rumours that the school deliberately failed women so they could produce more male doctors,” Miyauchi, one of the first affected women to speak publicly, said in an interview with the Guardian. “But I was still shocked when I found out that those rumours were true.”
This week, the school admitted it had deliberately altered entrance exam scores for female candidates for more than a decade.
The rigging of exam results was uncovered during an investigation into the alleged backdoor entry of an education ministry bureaucrat’s son in exchange for favourable treatment towards the school in obtaining research funds.
